VII THE CRUCIFIXTION WINDOW

VIII THE RESURRECTION WINDOW

Top: Butterfly is the symbol of resurrection.

Caterpillar enters the cocoon where he is seemingly lifeless. He will burst forth in beauty to soar in the air, so man shall rise in glory.

Figure: Christ is holding out his pierced hands as he showed them to St. Thomas, the Doubter. A sign that just as Christ died, now he is risen and lives again. (John 20)
